Scene from Disney’s ‘The Lion King’

Here is a scene from “The Lion King” with Timon, Simba, Pumbaa and Scar.

The copy was Compiled by Phil “Stokowski” Pollard in 1997.

The scenes cast include:
Pumbaa: A well-padded warthog and friend of Timon. A
little slow, but when he catches on, it’s surprising what he
can do. Has a flatulence problem.

Scar: Younger brother of Mufasa. Uncle of Simba. Has a vertical scar across
his right eye that presumably accounts for his name.

Simba: The cub of Mufasa. Soon to be King of Pride Rock.

Timon: An outcast meerkat; a friend of Pumbaa. Very self-reliant,
quite a fast talker.

Address and Depaint Scene

{Camera change to Scar addressing the lionesses by the
moon on Pride Rock.}

Scar: Mufasa’s death was a terrible tragedy; but to lose
Simba, who had barely begun to live…

{Camera pans around the lionesses. Some of them, with Zazu, are
comforting Sarabi, who bends her head in extreme pain. Nala is
rubbing against her mother’s paw, crying.}

Scar: …For me it is a deep personal loss. So it is with a
heavy heart that I assume the throne. Yet, out of the
ashes of this tragedy, we shall rise to greet the
dawning of a new era… {The hyenas start emerging, casting
eerie green shadows and laughing hollowly} …in
which lion and hyena come together, in a great and
glorious future! {Scar ascends Pride Rock as the hyenas
appear in full force.}

{The camera pans to Rafiki who is shaking his head in the
distance. The scene changes with Rafiki in the same position.
He is in his tree house. After wiping away a tear, he
reaches up and rubs his hand across the cub painting,
smearing it. The camera changes. The painting, smeared, is
overlaid on Simba laying out in the hot desert sun.}

[Buzzards – Intro to Hakuna Matata Scene]

{Buzzards are circling the cub’s body. One descends, then
all. They circle around it. With a blast of music, Timon
riding Pumbaa appears and dives into the midst of the
buzzards. They slap and kick the buzzards all away.}

Timon: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahh! Get out! Get out! Get
outta here! Whoo!

{Timon pulls back a fern leaf, revealing a beautiful view
of a rift-jungle. Waterfalls and rugged terrain make a
beautiful view. Harp runs accentuate the scene.}

Timon: Welcome… to our humble home.

Simba: You live here?

Timon: We live wherever we want.

Pumbaa: Yep. Home is where your rump rests. Heh!

Simba: It’s beautiful.

Pumbaa: {Loud raunchy belch} I’m starved.

Simba: I’m so hungry I could eat a whole zebra.

{Timon is rather disturbed by Simba’s want for meat– a little
bit taken aback and a little bit I-knew-this-would-happen.}

Timon: Eeeahhah. We’re fresh out of zebra.

Simba: Any antelope?

Timon: Na ah.

Simba: {A bit desperate} Hippo?

Timon: Nope. Listen, kid; if you live with us, you have to
eat like us. Hey, this looks like a good spot to
rustle up some grub.

{Timon has stopped in front of a log. Pumbaa forces it up
with his snout, revealing many insects. Timon picks one up.}

Simba: Eeew. What’s that?

Timon: A grub. What’s it look like?

Simba: Eeew. Gross.

Timon: {Eating, mouth full} Mmmm. Tastes like chicken.

{Pumbaa slurps up a large worm from the ground. Both
Timon and Pumbaa are feasting on bugs by now.}

Pumbaa: {Slurping} Slimy, yet satisfying.

Timon: {Grabbing a bug} These are rare delicacies. Mmmm.
{Crunches} Piquant, with a very pleasant crunch.

Pumbaa: You’ll learn to love ’em.

Timon: I’m telling you, kid, this is the great life. No
rules. No responsibilities. {pokes his hand into a knothole–
many bugs scramble out} Oooh! The little cream-filled kind.
{munch} And best of all, no worries.

{Timon has been collecting bugs on a leaf. He offers it to
Simba. Simba picks out a grub.}

Here is the beginning scene:
The scene is with Scar, Zazu and Mufasa chasing a mouse

[Mouse / Challenge Scene]

{Cue mouse sounds}

{Visual fade into mouse in cave}

{Mouse comes out and starts preening in the light. Begins
sniffing. Becomes frightened. Suddenly a large lion paw
swoops down and catches him.}

{Cue the Scar theme (dissonant, slow, reed theme). Fade in
slowly and up full during speech}

{Camera switch to Scar holding the squeaking and
struggling mouse in his paw. He talks to it while playing
with it}

Scar: Life’s not fair, is it? You see I — well, I… shall
never be King. {exhale lightly} And you… shall never
see the light of another day. {closed-mouth laughter.
Starts to place the mouse on his extended tongue} …
Adieu… {quiet laugh}

Zazu : {Interrupting} Didn’t your mother ever tell you not
to play with your food?

Scar: {Light sigh. The mouse is under his paw.} What do you want?

Zazu: I’m here to announce that King Mufasa is on his way. {bows}
…So you’d better have a good excuse for missing the
ceremony this morning.

{The mouse runs away from Scar}

Scar: Oh now look, Zazu; you’ve made me lose my lunch.

Zazu: Hah! You’ll lose more than that when the King gets
through with you. He’s as mad as a hippo with a
hernia.

Scar: Oooh… I quiver with FEAR.

{On “FEAR” Scar crouches down and is baring his teeth at
Zazu.}

Zazu: {Very concerned} Now Scar, don’t look at me that
way… HELP!

{Scar quickly pounces on the bird, catching him in his mouth.}

Mufasa: {Almost immediately and off-camera} Scar! …

Scar: {Mouth full} Mm-hmm?

Mufasa: Drop him.

Zazu: {Speaking from Scar’s mouth} Impeccable timing, your
majesty.

{Scar spits the bird out, covered with saliva}

Zazu: {Slimed} Eyyccch.

Scar: {Sarcastically overjoyed} Why! If it isn’t my big
brother descending from on high to mingle with the
commoners.

Mufasa: Sarabi and I didn’t see you at the presentation of
Simba.

Scar: {Faking astonishment} That was today? Oh, I feel
simply awful.

{He turns and start scraping his claws on the rock wall.
Zazu cringes at the sound.}

Scar: {Admiring his claws} …Must have slipped my mind.

Zazu: Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is, as the king’s
brother, you should have been first in line!

{Scar clicks his teeth at Zazu, who has flown near his
face. Zazu takes cover behind Mufasa’s foreleg. Scar bends
down to speak to him.}

Scar: Well, I was first in line… until the little hairball
was born.

Mufasa: {Lowering his head and meeting Scar eye to eye}
That “hairball” is my son… and your future king.

One thought on “Scene from Disney’s ‘The Lion King’”

1. Whoopi Goldberg and Cheech Marin.
2. Benson! Still love that show. The theme song will be in my head for hours now.
3. Ooooh, Scar, what a great villain voice. The bad guy from Die Hard with a vengeance. Crap. Irons. Something Irons.
4. Nothing, what’s a motto with you?
5. He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal He cleared the savannah after every meal, hmm what did they call him, Oh the shame thought of changing his name (what’s in a name?) and he felt downhearted every time.
I must be on the wrong song, because I can’t think of what they may have called him. Damn. Thought I had this one.
The Home Improvement voice was the middle kid, I think, but I couldn’t imagine his name.
